EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the determination and resilience of Alison Roberta Noble Neilans (1884-1942), a prominent figure in the British suffragette movement. Neilans was a dedicated activist, devoting her time and energy to various organizations fighting for women's right to vote. She was a member of the Women's Freedom League, the Church League for Women's Suffrage, and worked closely with Sylvia Pankhurst in East London. Neilans' commitment to the cause led her to be imprisoned multiple times, and she bravely endured hunger strikes as a form of protest. During her incarceration, she was forcibly fed, a painful and humiliating process that was commonly used to break the will of suffragettes. Despite the hardships, Neilans remained steadfast in her beliefs, wearing the W.F.L prisoners brooch - a silver stylised Holloway symbol - as a badge of honor. This photograph, taken circa 1910, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by suffragettes like Alison Roberta Noble Neilans in their fight for women's suffrage. The silver stylised Holloway symbol, a symbol of resistance and defiance, is prominently displayed on her lapel. Neilans' unwavering commitment to the cause, and her willingness to endure imprisonment and suffering, serve as an inspiration to women's rights activists today. This image is an important historical document, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights and suffrage in the United Kingdom.
